I wanted to show how Cisneros uses layering throughout her text to touch on various issues in an informal way. Through linking specific words and quotes, I am able to bridge the distance between the reader and the text by contextualizing the thematic issues. Through my recast, I can create realistic connections to the reader’s life that they might be unconscious of prior to the text. I was able to analyze the text thoroughly and in doing so I was able to discover more and more issues that Cisneros was addressing. Therefore, the recast really amplifies the depth found in the text despite the child’s point of view.
